O Shameful Country Men (Rise And Fight) Poem by Thomas Duncky

O Shameful Country Men (Rise And Fight)



O Shameful Country Men
Look what you have done to our lady
The warm heart is hot and burning now
Her clean spring is deadly freezing now
She’s hurting from the scars of your brutal corrupt rape

O Ignorant Country Men
You have lost valor and purpose to fight now
You just follow the corrupt leaders for your daily bread
Where is that spirit of bravery?
Where are those true warm heartans who before fought gallantry?
For truth, for light and for justice!

O Greedy Country Men
Shall we say you fought the Whiteman and the life leader for your own sakes?
Do you now take the spoils of our labors lost for yourselves?
O Gluttonous country men, now you sell your heroism for pennies

O filthy political, religious and cultural leaders of my country
Should you be so greedy with aid?
Honor it would be if you with your own labors got paid
But alas it is the white man’s bread
On which you and your lavish families are fed

Now to you Ignorant Country Men
Do you your labors in vain throw?
Do you want to follow the greedy and corrupt leaders everywhere they go?
While your lads and lasses out of poverty’s wrath get spoiled
Do you go to rallies and hear them preach long live agriculture
When they rejoice on Whiteman’s greener pasture

Therefore I tell you brethren
Labor not for the greedy and filthy stink in our leaders
Let not what you with your sweat won
Another tax, in his uniform worn,
Labor then you, for your sons and daughters
Your mothers and fathers

To you the young bloods
Brooded from the bloodline of the gallant fighters
I say rise, again and again rise
Slay all the enemies to our liberties
One by one, once and for all slay them
Until not one man or woman stands
Who before had fed on corrupt hands
With all might needed for a revolution fight
For the change that comes after every revolution fight
For fire drives out fire
Thus you even with uncanny ways with which they rape our warm heart
I say fight
For the love of the warm heart and not for your own glory I say rise
Woman, man, son and daughter and fight!
